英検準1級の要約問題の採点をお願いします！ ［問題］ Some crops, such as rice and wheat, are harvested by cutting off the top of the plant. When farmers gather such crops, they leave the bottom part in the ground. This part is called stubble. Farmers need space to plant their next crops, so some of them burn the stubble. Now, some countries want to make a law that stops farmers from doing this. Supporters of the law believe it is important. People’s health will be protected. This is because when stubble is burned, smoke containing harmful chemicals is released. It can travel long distances, so the law would benefit the health of both rural and urban populations. There is another advantage to stopping stubble burning. The quality of soil on farms can be maintained. There are small organisms, such as bacteria, in the soil that make crops grow more easily. When stubble is burned, the ground becomes extremely hot, which kills these organisms. This will not happen if stubble burning is banned. However, opponents of the law are worried. Removing stubble from fields can be very difficult. Without fire, farmers need to buy specialized mechanical equipment to get rid of it. This equipment often costs a lot, so it is impossible for many farmers to afford. ［要約 自分の答え］ Farmers harvest crops by leaving the bottom part that is called stubble. Some countries want to prohibit burning it to protect creatures. Burning the stubble releases toxic chemicals and then the ground becomes too hot to survive for organisms. However replacing the stubble without fire costs a lot. Therefore to make a legislation that stops farmers from burning the stubble has affordable problems.
